Unfortunatly i just don't ever see myself putting something on my head with headphones and video screens a couple inches from my eyes. Freaks me out. I'm uncomfortable just thinking about the sensory deprivation. At least when i'm watching a screen, i can be somewhat aware of the rest of the world. I don't think i'm alone with these feelings either.

Hmm.. I think you are in the vast minority for sure. I've been following (and an adopter) of VR since the beginning and I think this is really the first time I've heard someone say something like that.

What I don't get is you say "sensory deprivation" but you are anything but deprived on sensory.. you feel like you are in another place with visual & audio. I guess when there's a loading time or something and it's all black, I can see what you mean a little bit..
